So this is the real reason for the war on drugs, huh? Can't have us peasants live longer and happier lives by "abusing" psychedelics.As if the preliminary studies that indicated a wide range of mental boons weren't promising enough. Who would have thought that tuning in and dropping out was actually legit this whole time?At this point, I am willing to bet that future studies will show that it can even increase average IQs long-term by virtue of inhibiting cerebral atrophy, which of course is very relevant to /sci/.

I don't believe there is anything of "what it's like" to "be" another person. Nor do I believe there is anything of "what it's like" to even "be" me. The ego is an invention of Cartesian philosophers. If I am truly "conscious" as these philosophers describe consciousness, then I should be able to project my mind across time and space in an instant like a god. But I cannot even be conscious of myself five minutes ago. I cannot recall to mind my memory of five minutes ago and relive my supposed conscious experience. I have no way to prove I even existed five minutes ago, or that I will exist five minutes hence. Do "I" even exist at all? I must conclude: no.
>>16874146so what arrived at that conclusion?

what the FUCK is with dreams? I think its one of the spookiest mysteries of modern science. weird things about dreams:>the ability of your subconscious to create vivid, breathing worlds engaging all your senses and reacting to all of your conscious actions and thoughts is kind of frightening to me. goes to show you how immensely powerful our subconscious is and how much of our actual decision making happens without even processing why.>what is the evolutionary advantage of these resting hallucinations? is there even one to begin with? we know animals dream too, so it would suggest there IS some kind of benefit to this, but what could it possibly be>the nature of the dreams themselves. why do so many of them seem to involve our deep seated fears, anxieties, regrets, and hopes for the future?>lucid dreaming and partially lucid dreaming. I have a weird thing where I will generally suspect something is a dream, and I will worry that its not real (because my dreams are usually the life I WISH I had) but convince myself in the dream that its real. I also have an ability to consciously stop the dream once it gets uncomfortable and I want out. its like I dont know Im dreaming, but then once it gets scary I immediately know I can just end it anytime, then Ill close my eyes and wake up. fucking weird>what it says about the very nature of consciousness itself. why is there even a "me" consciousness seperate from the rest of our brain to begin with? why does this conscious retard need to be entertained in some imagined space?the more i think about it the more fucking weird it is.
>>16871028>what is the evolutionary advantage of these resting hallucinations?Here is my guess. Not all of your brain is asleep at once. There are still bits that are occasionally active while it is recovering that result in experiencing nonsense information. You forget most of this quickly after waking up because animals who remembered were disadvantaged by fear and confusion from this nonsense information while surviving in the wild. Something similar to hallucinogenic plants using this as a defense mechanism. Either that or you forget it quickly because your hippocampus is not recording it while you sleep.In any case I don't think it's particularly meaningful or prophetic. These are just things people think about while awake but disorderly because their brain is recovering from a day of activity and only partially active.
>>16871062>In any case I don't think it's particularly meaningful or prophetic.I want to add they might still be a good source of some interesting stories and creative ideas.
>>16871028>go into prolonged resting period at night since cant do much at night and need time to rest to prevent burnout and heal>dont need as much brain power in action since sitting still in dark>sensory perception and higher thinking brain areas turn off>brain cant turn all the way off so basically goes into idle mode>runs through fanciful simulations in idle mode to occupy itself until rest period is over
>>16871062Lay still and recollect the dream when you wake up. Moving around makes recall difficult.
>the ability of your subconscious to create vivid, breathing worlds engaging all your senses and reacting to all of your conscious actions...The sensation of existing in reality is an illusion. What is really happening is your senses are collecting data which is being interpreted by your brain to construct your perspective of the universe. In this sense the only difference between being awake and dreaming is that when you dream your senses are seemingly disconnected and whatever processes the brain uses to construct your reality are going mostly off of memories.

>>16873466not him but the portal ends half way on the cube such that both halves are touching the ground
>>16873491Correct. Looks like SHM would occur until the block equalizes into half on blue half on orange.
>>16873491So forces from objects would transfer to panels portals are on?In this case, would situation in the pic related happen? On the left is the regular empty box without the top part, on the right is hollow box with blue portal inside which is bolted to the ground, and box with equal weight with orange portal outside (which is free to move).
>>16873759Consider the case where the portals are different boxes. The orange box being the input would be stationary and it would be the blue box moving. The user would feel a tension on their arm and this motion of the blue box would be proportional to this tension. Something like a direct drive joystick could be created. Consider the case of a rod being inserted into the portals as shown where the ends of the rods are some interference fit - the rod is longer that the distance between the portals. One person held one end of the rod while the other one pushed them together.Does the rod fall over when they both let go?Inherent to the portal is a unique self-interference of portal-objects. The source of this interference originates from the portal, but the portal-object surface in question can be some distance away from the portal. In this case, the practicalities of tension make a perfect orientation unlikely and the rod is likely to tip by similar mechanisms of treefelling. But engineered geometries could create self-tension analogous to phase locking in superconduction.. The rod would not change orientation relative to the portals even if the box were tossed about. This would have to be outside of a strong gravitational field or other force acting non-uniformly on the rod. What happens if such a rod is set up as such in portals that are on plunging surfaces. What happens when the portals are brought closer together?
>>16873491Makes no sense. The blue portal hitting the cube is the same as the cube hitting the steel floor. The blue portal sheet (steel floor beneath the orange portal) hits the top of the cube and stays there. >>16873759There is no force on the orange portal's box. It doesn't move. >>16874035Your diagram sucks. I don't understand the situation.
Hello, 'nons. Beginning in January, I'll be an undergrad in Physics in a top 100 university. However, I suck at plane geometry and, if I don't change that, I won't be able to learn mechanics and calculus. I attempted to learn plane geometry 2 years ago and I did a little bit of progress, but I got to a certain point where it was so hard that I gave up and went to study other topics.Today I opened my geometry book again and resumed from where I stopped, but it's still hard. I read the theorems and their demonstrations but they don't click in my mind. I wonder if it's because I'm too stupid or if there's other reason. I was able to successfully learn elementary algebra on my own (I didn't learn in school because of the pandemic), as well as combinatorics and probability (hs level). Geometry is the only thing that seems impossible to me.How do I learn this shit?
>>16873531- Learn it in context of physics and calculus problems. As in just do problem books, and compare your attempt to the model solution. - Try idiot-proof books like AOPS Introduction to Geometry. - Leave 4chan.- You made a really bad decision to study physics. Not even in a good university. Especially in this economy. Check job portals website, type in "physics". Be realistic. Learn public speaking. Learn writing. Learn video editing skills. Learn teaching skills. Make friends with people with bright future. Study hard. This is such a retarded decision that most likely will ruin your life. No one care about "problem-solving" skills. Don't shitpost on 4chan any more. But you won't listen anyways. No one ever listens.
>>168736231. I am using a book that's popular in my country. It's high-school level, yet it is somewhat rigorous. I don't think finding a new book will make a difference, I just need to learn how to study geometry. I've never felt so much difficulty learning a topic. I found it easy to learn algebra, sequences, combinatorics, optics and calorimetry, but geometry has been hard. I need to know plane geometry for trig.; 2. I really just came to 4chan to post this, otherwise I barely use it;3. My university is tuition free. Can you imagine that, shitmerican?
>>16873644>I need to know plane geometry for trigVery little, really: >>16873612>I've never felt so much difficulty learning a topicMaybe you need to pick up on proof writing in general? Try "How to Prove It: A Structured Approach" or "Book of Proof">It's high-school level, yet it is somewhat rigorousTell me the name of your geometry book, no matter the languge
>>16873745Fundamentos de Matemática Elementar, Volume 9https://libgen.li/edition.php?id=143386283
>>16874029But trigonometry is vol 3. Shouldn't you read this series in order? You were saying you wouldn't have any problem with volumes 1 to 8? Thinking you need plane geometry before trigonometry is not the right mindset, it would be better if you started mechanics right away and backtracked if needed, do you know what physics books they use at your top 100 university? Besides, your hue guide mentions the book by Morgado, Wagner and Jorge. Try that too
If you're so smart and good at math, what's stopping you from solving a Millenium Prize Problem?

I'll give you a free (you) if you can come up with a math puzzle that an average college grad with a math degree can solve within 15 minutes, but the top AIs cannot (gemini-3-pro, gpt-5-high [1] ). No images. No spelling gotchas. Normal math that would be appropriate for a textbook.You can run these models for free on https://lmarena.ai (choose "Direct Chat") Post a screenshot of these models failing if you can come up with such a puzzle.[1] Seems to be smarter than gpt-5.2-high
>>16873849>It's already beating IMO gold medalists.It's all so tiresome.
>>16873882Competitors spend a bunch of times studying the problems and workflows, such that the problem is generally a chain-function of parameterized links.They aren't doing research. Mathematical prowess isn't even of particular note. It is more like swift pattern recognition or path-finding that is tested. And this doesn't have good bearing mathematically because of combinatorics. One isn't going to iteratively stumble upon to solutions in general. It would take too long. Yes, this is an attack on AI as well.
>>16871152You keep saying this, and yet you keep coming back.
>>16873882YOU are hallucinating. OpenAI was sent problems from the last IMO within minutes after it ended, and solved them with the same constraints as humans do.

I just found out that eggs cause hard plaque build up especially in the carotid artery and that it's close to just as bad to smoking cigarettes. The problem is I have been drinking a dozen eggs a day for 6 months as an easy source of protein as I go to the gym. How fucked am I? How bad did I fuck up? On the weekends I'd cook them and add a bunch of cheddar cheese on top for extra protein. This is so bad...https://www.cbsnews.com/news/eating-egg-yolks-leads-to-two-thirds-of-the-plaque-buildup-youd-see-in-a-smokers-arteries-study-shows/

A methanalaysis of all studies on egss has shown than there is no association of an increased heart diseases and all cause mortality with egg consumption for men below 60. For women and older people there is an association, but prbbly because they listen to doctors more. So the same woman or elderly who doesn't smoke and doesn't eat like pig, also doesn't eat eggs because her dpctor told her so. That's all to it. No study with a control groups could show eggs being harmful in any way.
